Yet another route to eject stubborn stuck CDs
Authored by: Han Solo on Jun 01, '04 09:03:41PM

Some good ideas here, but the first place to look probably is in Disk Utility — often times CDs that are not visible in the Finder will show up there, where they can be ejected. Any easy first step before one resorts to rebooting, using Open Firmware, etc.

Yet another route to eject stubborn stuck CDs
Authored by: prabodh on Nov 08, '06 09:18:05PM

Disk Utility worked well for me.

Today I had a CD stuck inside.

I launched Disk Utility and the stuck CD was listed
as one of the drives. I simply pressed the eject button
on Disk Utility and it spat the CD out.

BTW, my iBook has no hole to push a pin to eject.

Thanks for the tip.
